Aha... so it's Wednesday for pictures then. 

[rooooooooby]

yep ...

think slightly taller, much fatter, bit spottier but essentially body like wills dog - curlyrightover tail like spitz breed, tri-head, wills ears and eyes, wider skull at the back than w + b have but essentially collie looking.

she is the girlie having the seizures

is she going to be on the slimfast plan then if she is fat? 

[rooooooooby]

hi,

i dunno what she's being fed yet and i cant change it till she's settled and i'm sure she's not having seizures because abrupt diet change can bring them on apparently.

she's got fat post-spey probably because feeding guidelines on most dogfood are way too high !  also she did live with children so i am not sure if she was getting extra's

she's also got a bit of a skin problem.  looked a bit dry and scabby 2 patches about the size of golf ball near each other looked pink + healthy and asthough hair was growing back - i was wondering ringworm but could it be just a skin infection ?

can halve what she is on though.  i am mean... shame i can't manage the same rules on myself.  i even dieted my flat mate's gerbils once.

looooads of things it could be - but if it was ringworm then hair probably wouldn't be growing back..  might all be linked to diet. 

[rooooooooby]

ok, yep could be - or all linked to seasons ... or both !!

the patches are 2 patches close together but not overlapping, the skin inside them is pink / healthy looking but with yellowy scabs and a bit dry looking.  hair is re-growing as if she's itched them patches, made them sore and now they're actually recovering.

i cant think it could be ringworm because - if it wasnt treated i would expect it to be alot worse as it doesnt just "go away" and if it was treated i would have expected them to shave her side (its at side towards rear) and its not - its just the 2 roughly circular patches.  you can hardly see them to just glance at her - her coat is like wills thick and dense its only when you hold it back you really see them.  the owners didnt say anything when they handed her over.

doesnt sound like ringworm - i groomed a cocker had those bev said they were......dunno you have to ask her i cant remember 

Cant wait to meet her whats her name - Honey says she promises to be very nice to her     

[GSPmad]

could be injury, could be skin infection (staph rings), could be season, could be diet... yellowy scabs sounds like infection and pink skin with hair growing back sounds like healing. 

[rooooooooby]
